Industrial action: pensions in the fire service

February 25, 2015
Circular ref
2015HOC0161MW

Dear Brother/Sister

Industrial action: pensions in the fire service

Previously some members have been informed of action short of strike which they had been called upon to undertake.

As the person authorised to make the call for industrial action I now confirm that this discontinuous industrial action commencing on the times and on the dates specified below will be:

Industrial action short of a strike to take place commencing 26th February 2015 from 07:00 hrs until further notice is as set out below:


  1. Not participating in duties associated with Marauding Terrorism and Firearm Attacks (MTFA) incidents.


  2.  

 


  1. During periods of strike action being taken by FBU members, FBU members in a non-striking Fire and Rescue Service should not cross borders to work in a Fire and Rescue Service where FBU members are taking strike action or in a Fire and Rescue Service where the employer is not recognising partial performance.


  2.  


The various options for action short of strike will be kept under review and may be subject to change.

Please ensure all members are made aware of this circular and continue to discuss options for this and any future industrial action which may be necessary.

Best wishes.

Yours fraternally

MATT WRACK
GENERAL SECRETARY
